Linking watershed formation with the phylogenetic distribution of a soil microscopic fungus in Yunnan Province, China
These findings emphasize the crucial role of historical geomorphological events in shaping the biogeography of microbial biodiversity, alongside contemporary biotic and abiotic factors. Watershed perimeters emerged as effective predictors of such patterns, suggesting their suitability as analytical units for regional-scale studies. Our study also demonstrates the potential of microorganisms and phylogeographic approaches to complement traditional geological analyses, providing a more comprehensive understanding of past landscape structure and its evolution.
